This is the NDN / DreamHost monitoring plugins package. It is based on the package from monitoring-plugins.org with some additional plugins custom written for our setup.

Plugins from monitoring-plugins.org are stored in the plugins, plugins-scripts, and plugins-root directories. Plugins in the plugins dir are mostly written in C and are compiled as part of the package building process.

DreamHost-developed plugins are in the plugins-NDN dir. These are (mostly) scripts in interpreted languages that do not require compilation. The one exception is check_nrpe, that is from NagiosEnterprises and was pre-compiled and added to the plugins-NDN directory.

The compilation and installation of all plugins is controlled by the 'rules' file in the debian dir.
NOTE: if a new ndnplugins plugin requires compilation, you must add it to the rules file.

== FAQ

?: A plugin I want to use is in the plugins directory but not compiled as part of the generated package, what gives?
	Some plugins have additional package requirements for compiling them (ex the radius & ldap plugins). Those plugins are not currently used so their package requirements were not added to the debian/control file.

?: What happened to ndn-netsaint-plugins and ndn-nagios-checks?
	This package replaces both of those. Both those packages were based on the same upstream / community package and duplicated a lot of work.

?: Why monitoring-plugins, what happened to nagios-plugins?
	It is the same thing. Nagios the company did a name grab. https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/news/new-project-name.html
